Am I the only one not liking the cell-shaded graphics of the new PoP game?

First of all these are not the best cell shaded graphics, I've seen better (yes, I am pointing at Eternal Sonata for example), and it makes the game look rushed and just, I don't really know, I just don't think its being made with that same passion they made Sands of Time with. PoP ended up being just another cashcow though on the last generation.

I mean they have these powerful platforms to work with and they decide to go with half-assed cell shading? Yes, I know its not finished yet, but I don't think it will improve that much till the end of this year. Just imagine the graphics if they used a next-gen version of the Sands of Time engine (Jade Engine). Oh, yh by the way I still think that out of the last three PoP games Sands of Time looked the best.

I don't think this game will be half as good as the last ones, and I was and still am a massive fan of those PoP games, but I hope I'm wrong, anyway.

I just hope if they do make that Beyond Good and Evil sequel they will not use cell-shaded graphics.

Going by the pics in Game Informer magazine, I like the art style. IMO, it's more like a painting in motion.

I like cell shaded graphics but since I haven't yet seen anything about PoP I really can't say (anyone got a link, I checked this site and couldn't find anything). I am glad to hear that they are doing it though.

I don't want to get to far off topic but how cool would GTAIV have been if the entire game wa cell shaded in the style of all their artwork and load screens? That would have been pure awesomeness.

I didnt know it had Cell-Shaded graphics.

Im not a big fan of the others, I only rented but the only think I knew about PoP4 was that it was in production, haha.

yeh. thye sid they were aiming for concept brought to life "art style" i'll except it, but i am also wondering why not use regular graphics? meh i'll buy it either way big fan of the PoP games. another in im wondering about is the single 1 on 1 battles. come one man thats one thingi loved most about the PoP games crazy combo. now it sound like there using some crappy control scheme like AC's, AC's wasnt bad but come one i rather deal out combos "button smashing" :P

Alot of people dont know what emo is. Emo is just a genre of music, nothing more. Society, teenagers mainly, have twisted the word so that if you wear tight jeans, cut yourself, or have a different hairstyle from the norm youre automatically "emo". Its pathetic really.

I personally don't mind it. Though I prefer realistic looking graphics, I appreciate the artistic graphics and it won't hamper my enjoyment of the game, that is assuming that the game is good.

If it was emo the Prince wouldn't have gone through all the work he did to save himself from dying.

Anywho. I don't really like the new style either. It just doesn't have the same feel as the original trilogy.

Well I make 3 on that view, I would also like to see more realistic graphics but as long has the gameplay is like the original 3( and is going to expand upon and the GI article says) then It will be great either way, and yes this game has a new feel because they are trying to go a different direction with it.

seriously, The PoP series is far from being anything close to Emo.

Just to make it clear: people shouldn't assume Cell Shading as "previous gen". That's just stupid. Learn about graphics. Cell shaded graphics is just a another way of presenting games and require equal amount of processor power as regular graphics.

For those people who just don't like Cell Shaded graphics. Well get use to it 'cause it's a cool concept and developers love to use it.

taking what was said earlier about artistic view, I went back to the article in GI and it does look alot more like a darker painting style than cell-shading, alot like concept art actually... anyway if done right I believe it could turn out to be wonderfully creative and orginal.

Prince of Persia belongs in the more realistic graphics genre rather than cell-shaded one.

I'm a fan of the trilogy and they were the best games to come out on gamecube and wherever it goes I go. Even if they use cell shading it's ok because cell shading can actually make a game unique and great if there's a good story like in the previous games. I don't know about anyone else but i actually enjoyed Wind Waker a lot because of the cell shading and the great story.

I don't like it either. Then again, it probably looks WAY better in motion. I liked the series and I'm super skeptical on this one. Everything that was unique was scrapped.
